                          A bunch of community projects

Description             : During Covid - I was isolated in my apartment and had nothing to do
                          So I got to work! I made the layouts of all the maps in about 3-4 days
                          and had them detailed with the things added in 2 more. then it took me
                          an additional 5 years to polish it into a complete product......
                          
                          Inspired by Covid19, the maps have a musty feel about them. Induced further
                          by Jimmys wonderful weeping sky texture and a lot of liquid texture use.
                          The Coldpal pallette also adds some dark sombre hues that invoke an infected
                          feeling.

The WAD contains a DEHACKED patch with changes to the following;

-Lost Soul health has been halved
-Chainsaw firing rate increased by 1 tick making it very effectve for demon dismembering
-Cacodemon projectile speed has been increased by 50%. Giving them the teeth that UDoom lacks in its enemy roster.
-Map names added into the computer map and a story added when the boss is beaten.

Additional Credits************************
Nue for the speedy work on the graphics especially the very cool Doomguy facemask! Textures were pinched from CC4 and Jimmys Zoon Texture pack (which is where the fitting misty sky came from). New colour palette is ReaperAAs excellent Coldpal colour palatte.
